If the Traveler from Well's 1895 novel, built his time machine from iron, and
it exhibited the energy output exhibited in the quasar, the traveler the
solar system he rode in on, would be fine ash, falling into a waterfall in
spacetime.

The significance of the article is, of course, its implication. The
implication is that the increased acceleration of the redshift, noted first
in 1998, must be a comparatively, intermitent phenomena. What happend before
the acceleration? How long was the universe stable? Was it steady state to
start out with? If the universe is much older, did life and intelligence have
a greater head-start then we could scarcely, imagine.
